Because:

- You don't do any sanity-checking of the email-addresses yourself.
- You don't do any checking of what results sendmail might give you.
- What if this is called with 'foo | rm -rf /' as 5th parameter?
- The 'tmail' file, in what directory does it end up, the top of the
  (mud)lib?
- You don't unlink the 'tmail' file, so someone with read-access there
  can read other people's outgoing email.

Just some pointers. :)
